Assist with Worship
At Mariner Sands Chapel, worship isn’t a spectator sport, whether you’re in the pews, with us online or assisting with the service. We need our members and those who attend services here to help with worship in a variety of ways.
Coffee Time
Each week, following 9:30 a.m. service, worshippers usually gather for conversation outside the Chapel entrance. Coffee and light pastries or cookies may be donated and served by volunteers or a family. Table set up and tear down are necessary for serving.
Typical schedule: Occasionally

Ushers
The ushers distribute worship programs, collect the congregation’s tithes and offerings, guide worshippers during communion, light candles and assure that the Chapel is set up for services. After worship, they collect worship programs for recycling, straighten chairs, Bibles and hymnals for the next service.
Typical schedule: About once a month
